>Scientists have raised safety concerns about the Orion capsule's heat shield ahead of NASA's long–awaited Artemis II mission. Set to launch as early as 1 April, the mission will see four astronauts – Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch and Jeremy Hansen – blast off on a 10–day mission to the moon. During the mission, the astronauts will travel around our lunar satellite on board Orion – a cramped capsule measuring just 11ft x 16.5ft.

Canadian, White man, woman and nigger. Yeah it’s gonna fail unless the White guy can carry this by himself, but I don’t have high hopes as he’s likely a dei hire and don’t know shit.

After everything I have been reading about the SLS for over a decade and talking to people that actually worked on it and said it was the wrong path...

Yeah. I am betting this thing blows up before orbit or shortly after. There was a story today about one of the men (the White guy) talking to his daughters about if he dies. I know that you do that but... I also remember multiple stories over a year ago of astronauts that said they would refuse to be launched on it because they didn't want to die.

Yeah because we all remember the names of the challenger crew…besides that dumb fucking teacher.

That said, they are all still alive.

Interesting rabbit hole to go down.
